I've got to say. Thank God for the 79 series. This platform has allowed everyone to build their dream rig. People have digs at the 79 for its stock failings but if your making big $$$ what other olatform gives you what a 79 does
Seems you live in the USA, home of the best off-road suspensions and custom vehicles. Just get a Patriot Campers Tray, for example, on the 1 ton SRW pickup of your choice:) Mod away my friend.
Man we should be thankful to Toyota for this truck and they still kept it in production line and for making it super basic without any modern electronics. Here in middle east these trucks are backbone and king of deserts we call them our modern camels. I'm seeing these trucks from 2002 when i was a 2yo kid i loved the older amber fog lights on separate lamps on front bumper i wish Toyota still carry that on, overall with modifications this truck is a true tank
Great build, Cant say anything that i would suggest to add, you have covered all. Im a Proud owner of an 2018 79 series with 1HZ. slowly building mine too. Met one of your staff in Vic and was lucky to go around one of your project trucks in 2018. Once this covid thig is over will visit your showroom one day. Keep posting, Cheers from Sri Lanka
Great build and run through Isaac. It's massive, but love that you've focussed on building it to be perfect for your trips and that you've fitted a compact canopy so that you actually get the benefit of the +300mm extension. Mike
MADDOG RIG my BULL on ya mate. Bloody love EVERY aspect of this Rig Mate. Only thing missing , I think is on drivers side slide out draw incorporate another slide out tray to work on if you have guns etc etc. Don't lose the depth of the draw just raise it to incorporate the full length slide out tray under it.
First 79 build I've seen where more thought has gone into every accessory than just money. Yes a lot of money has gone into it but not without good reason. I didn't see interior sound deadening go in and I highly recommend it. I did it to my 79 and for relatively low cost has such a big improvement.
awesome video Isaac. love the cruiser. i think this is the best one on the road. not over done as you said. practical and ready to go. video was great too, basically no cuts in the video which is great to see :)
What a mean bit of kit There’s been a lot of thoughts put into this I love the new colour looks great well done Isaac I can’t wait for my new tray and canopy to arrive you guys are the best Love your logo There’s no one in Nz that build anything close to what you guys build
100% mate best looking, most thought out rig, awesome colour. The best of the best with the companies you’ve worked with this one mate, organised and no bullshit, love it 👍👍👍
Just found you video, what an awesome colour love the whole unit one of the best looking and set up rigs I have ever seen. Built by someone who isn't swayed by marketing want! and knows what he needs ro get the job done with ease. Very nice indeed. Phil from FNQ
@Norweld I'd like to hear Isaac talking more in-depth about his experiences in owning a coil conversion vs portal conversion 79 including his opinion on the 300mm extension. Pros & Cons, what are his thoughts and any guidance he can pass on. While pushing the Canopies ofc.
👍. Rig looks sweet. Well thought out build👍. What would be a ball park figure for the 79 set up? If you don’t mind me asking please? The paint job is good. Not a bad colour.
@@NorweldAustralia well the team definitely did a good job👍 plus running portals. How would that compare to the Iveco daily, price wise and functionality?
If you go a deluxe lite canopy like this one on a base tray so it cannot be removed, is it still 1500 long and do you still have the same space at the back where the spare and jerry can holder is? I can't decide whether to go a tray and lite or a base and lite. I really don't think I'll take it off but I love the look of the headboard. Cheers
Awesome rig! I’m starting the process of sorting out mine with the jmacx 3900gvm leaf kit. Tossing up between the 2 and 3 inch lift options. Is you setup with the portals equivalent to a 2 or a 3 inch standard lift? And if not what would it be equivalent too just for a reference?
you wont be able to tow 3.5t if the car is maxed out with 3.95 GVM. You will have 350kg of ball weight at a minimum that needs to be factored into your vehicle gvm.
@@NorweldAustralia thankyou yes move the ball weight to the gvm and tow 3150 what i am working out is the normal jmax 3900 gvm you can still tow a full 3.5t still need to factor in the 350 ball weight to the 3900 gvm what im asking is what can you still tow at your full gvm inc towball weight in the gvm
Solar panels are used to top up the lithium battery but we use 12v fridge freezers in Australia. You will struggle unless you have bulk solar wattage on the roof. We choose to run two complete wiring systems in this car to give us 520ah of battery storage which is about a week without any solar or input needed
Who lol. It's that modified toyota cant really offer much support. Its not a consideration when building a vehicle like this, I wanted it to this level so i assume responsibility for my actions.
@@CookingwithHeavyMetal yes mate we have upgraded the diffs in all our fileet to either the Jmacx housing or the marks 4wd housing which is fitted with the portals. Fixing the track makes them drive and track better and allows for greater rear axle loading
Because the coils have a different Ssm if done pre rego and portals have a 3950 gvm whereas coils can be 3900-4200-4495kg which means the gvm is not in line.
@@NorweldAustralia still the point is that front coils and portals are ok but somehow something weird happens if coils are used on the rear. How difficult would it be to match the coils to the portal gvm.
@@NorweldAustralia I hear what you’re saying but Marks sells portals for Nissan patrol which is full coil. Is this just the Australian red tape tax at work? Choice is our responsibility not suppliers. Restricting choice is communism dressed as ‘safety’
@@robertmillar2037 mate you don’t need coils with portal and you can’t modify the Ssm for portals which means no mods to the car. The bull is for sale. You could buy it and coil it
@@NorweldAustralia Does the tray/canopy size play a part in the ride comfort with the weight distribution? I'm still tossing up to do a 300 ext as it will be my daily driver and I live in the inner city with a lot of tight streets Will be going a compact either way.
@@NorweldAustralia Thanks Isaac, yeah I've given up trying to fit this in our garage as you said, and you're right about the extension. It will be my first 79 so I wont know the difference. Appreciate your responses mate
@@miggity_mac not a problem. Keep us in mind for your tray and canopy build. We have built more aftermarket trays and canopies for 79s than any other manufacturer

@@NorweldAustralia beach this time!
What a 79 I agree with everything you've said and done. By far the best 79 I've seen well put together

Thanks Tony!
Best 79 build I've seen..!! Well done .. Oh, and I like the colour BTW.
Glad you like it!
i drove past this beaut 2 days ago in my 60 south bound from white rock cairns
what a rig i gotta say
Thank mate. cheers.
Great piece, thanks. Looking forward to your adventures.
awesome video Isaac. love the cruiser. i think this is the best one on the road. not over done as you said. practical and ready to go. video was great too, basically no cuts in the video which is great to see :)

There’s no one in Nz that build anything close to what you guys build
Possibly the best 79 on the planet! Gorgeous.
100% mate best looking, most thought out rig, awesome colour. The best of the best with the companies you’ve worked with this one mate, organised and no bullshit, love it 👍👍👍
Thanks mate. Tried to build the best I could
Great build. Well designed and thought out!! That color is definitely an eye catcher.
The person who thumbed down the video is obviously extremely jeleous lol. Awesome truck!!
So far, that is the nicest 79 I have seen, the over the top influencer builds get old.
Cheers mate. Nothing left out of the build but nothing that is a waste
Are you talking about Jas’s “back in black” 79. 😂

That's a pretty sweet setup mate!
Best build i ever seen. Good job 👍
best comment ever "6 point not 3 point turns but it is worth it". so true awesome rig
Its a blast.
MAD as ALWAYS BULL.
An absolute weapon & then some 👌🏾. Big 👍🏾 from Papua New Guinea 🇵🇬.
@ZanderSlick! It's @fan_nq 😄 cheers! Stap isi wantok!
I love this build way better than those 2 big box canopies which I think are heavy.
What a build 😮💨
How’s does the auto go with pushing that much power??
Keep up the good work and i wish you a successful future in your mechanical artistry.
another game changing build, never seen one like it
A well thought out vehicle. Really like the fold down steps.
Bloody nice job. That colour is great.
Congratulations on the build mate. Beautiful truck and well thought out 👍
@Norweld I'd like to hear Isaac talking more in-depth about his experiences in owning a coil conversion vs portal conversion 79 including his opinion on the 300mm extension. Pros & Cons, what are his thoughts and any guidance he can pass on. While pushing the Canopies ofc.
Not quite mate. It is a high end build but you can apply aspects of the build to any 79 series.
👍. Rig looks sweet. Well thought out build👍. What would be a ball park figure for the 79 set up? If you don’t mind me asking please?
The paint job is good. Not a bad colour.
its up there mate. You can take elements off the build and apply to most 4x4s. This is just how we felt we could build the best 79 possible.
@@NorweldAustralia well the team definitely did a good job👍 plus running portals.
How would that compare to the Iveco daily, price wise and functionality?
@@holden3083 2 totally differnt vehicles mate. Cant compare them
Amazing,so sad Toyota does not sell in America, I'd buy one ❤️great build brother❤️
Fantastic car! The only thing I miss are siderails. Are these not possible / available because of the additional width due to the portals and flares?
I’m running electric side steps so it doesn’t allow to fit. You don’t really need them I have found. I’d prefer ease of entry and exit.
@@NorweldAustralia many thx!
Awesome set up Isaac. If you went the coils instead of the portals, would you recommend a full canopy for ride quality, or stick with the 3/4?
My other truck is coiled and it’s perfect with a compact
Such an awesome truck mate. I might have to upgrade the Ranger to your truck build. I love it.
Why did you opt for repaint over a vinyl wrap if you don't mind me asking?
Paint we can do all the door jams and door frames plus you can touch up paint easier
@@NorweldAustralia Looks great. Wish toyota did a colour like that for the cruisers
Bloody hot rig. Really like that colour.
This is beautiful!
One of the better 79 around
That is absolutely beautiful. I love it.
Awesome build mate, looks very neat👏🏽!. Greetings from PNG 🇵🇬🤙🏽
Very nice rig, love the snow peak bags / wash basins too
Awesome products
I jus fall in love with this beast!! Wish i culd even get a test drive... 🔥🔥
Beautiful truck! Love the color
Love this video.... keep up the good work
I've seen your truck cruising around. Gotta say I'm jealous.
Love the colour, tastefully done and I am ready to swap my left nut for it. Nice one Isaac!
Thanks mate
WOW !!!
10/10
WELL done.
Loved your review mate. Legend 🤙🏼
you work hard and you deserve it
Sweet rig! I miss my yoda! I need one of them here in Costa Rica! What are you in 50,60, 100k?
Over 200k AUD easy
Pushing 250k
thanks bro the car looks sick
Very nice. Is that rear seat leather reupholstered to suit the Recaros? If so who did you get to do it?
If you go a deluxe lite canopy like this one on a base tray so it cannot be removed, is it still 1500 long and do you still have the same space at the back where the spare and jerry can holder is? I can't decide whether to go a tray and lite or a base and lite. I really don't think I'll take it off but I love the look of the headboard. Cheers
Canopy is the same length, just no headboard in front. Headboard is the way to go mate, a lot more flexibility
I love the colour. Awesome build as well.
It was great, thank you for this good video
Nice rig mate , great colour :)
Awesome rig! I’m starting the process of sorting out mine with the jmacx 3900gvm leaf kit. Tossing up between the 2 and 3 inch lift options. Is you setup with the portals equivalent to a 2 or a 3 inch standard lift? And if not what would it be equivalent too just for a reference?
You won’t get that size lift on a standard leaf kit. You will need portals and 35s and a 2-3 inch lift on top
Hot 🔥🔥🔥 paint job what is the color code ??
Great 79 I am considering portals on the next 79 you mentioned 3950gvm
Can you still tow 3.5t at full 3950 gvm
you wont be able to tow 3.5t if the car is maxed out with 3.95 GVM. You will have 350kg of ball weight at a minimum that needs to be factored into your vehicle gvm.
@@NorweldAustralia thankyou yes move the ball weight to the gvm and tow 3150 what i am working out is the normal jmax 3900 gvm you can still tow a full 3.5t still need to factor in the 350 ball weight to the 3900 gvm
what im asking is what can you still tow at your full gvm inc towball weight in the gvm
Amazing. Well done!
thats pretty game changing
Hell Yeah! I've got truck envy, outside my budget but heck of a rig.
Why you don't use solar fridge or freezers ? Icecoo etc
And solar generators which can provide 3.5kwh
Solar panels are used to top up the lithium battery but we use 12v fridge freezers in Australia. You will struggle unless you have bulk solar wattage on the roof. We choose to run two complete wiring systems in this car to give us 520ah of battery storage which is about a week without any solar or input needed
How long from pick up new car to pick up when finished ???
This one took around 9 months. From when the car came from dealer to driving it painted new colour
Really Love this truck😍
Is this standard dual cab or chassis being extended by 300mm,thank you.
Extended 300mm
@@NorweldAustralia Thank you.I agree with what u said about shorter canopies,smart thinking.

So why cant you rear portal and coil it when the front it already coiled (and portalled obviously)
Because the coils have a different Ssm if done pre rego and portals have a 3950 gvm whereas coils can be 3900-4200-4495kg which means the gvm is not in line.
@@NorweldAustralia still the point is that front coils and portals are ok but somehow something weird happens if coils are used on the rear.
How difficult would it be to match the coils to the portal gvm.
You can’t modify an Ssm. If it’s done by engineering it you can still be defected. You don’t need rear coils on them. Leaves cover the bases.
@@NorweldAustralia I hear what you’re saying but Marks sells portals for Nissan patrol which is full coil. Is this just the Australian red tape tax at work?
Choice is our responsibility not suppliers. Restricting choice is communism dressed as ‘safety’
@@robertmillar2037 mate you don’t need coils with portal and you can’t modify the Ssm for portals which means no mods to the car. The bull is for sale. You could buy it and coil it
So 300 Extension + Portals w/Leafs = same ride quality as a standard wheelbase with coils with the same compact canopy size?
With good shocks that is correct. After having both I can confirm that they are both as good as each other. Shocks play a big part.
@@NorweldAustralia Does the tray/canopy size play a part in the ride comfort with the weight distribution?
